The illustrations -- digital collages by Isabelle Cardinal -- are quirky, and while not necessarily the wrong choice for a book about Auschwitz, over power the story, which starts abruptly and rather cliched (waking up), and then finishes just as abruptly. This isn't Holocaust 101 For Kids -- we aren't given a primer on Nazis or concentration camps or the Second World War. And that's the saddest thing about this book -- my daughter is privileged enough that she would need a Holocaust 101 before reading this book to understand it. Imagine if you don't have to do that, to introduce that narrative to a child because the existence of it (or similar events like what happened in Rwanda, Cambodia, the former Yugoslavia, etc.) is omnipresent in her and her family's history. That makes me so sad, even if I found the book so uneven. The Promise by Pnina Bat Zvi and Margie Wolfe went on sale April 18, 2018. I received a copy free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. On a mean street in a mean, broken city, a young girl tries to snatch an old woman’s bag. But the frail old woman, holding on with the strength of heroes, says the thief can’t have it without giving something in return: the promise. It is the beginning of a journey that will change the thieving girl’s life — and a chance to change the world, for good. Here is the story of a magical discovery that will touch the heart and imagination of every reader, young and old. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"A true story about two brave sisters whose promise to "always, stay together" helped them survive Auschwitz. The night that Rachel and Toby's parents are taken away by the Nazis, they give their young daughters three gold coins with the instructions to "use these wisely to help save your lives." They also ask the girls to promise that they will always stay together. This compelling true story follows the sisters as they confront the daily horrors of Auschwitz, protecting one another, sharing memories, fears, and even laughter - always together. But when Rachel becomes ill and is taken away by Nazi guards, likely forever, Toby risks her own life and uses the well-hidden gold coins to rescue her little sister."-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
